Justin Tucker 2024 Season In Review:
Tucker comes off his worst season of his career (22-for-30), highlighted by his sharp decline in his success rate (73.3%). Three of his misses came between 40 and 49 yards, with five kicks from 50 yards or more being off the mark for the third consecutive year (9-for-14, 1-for-5, and 6-for-11). Even with his struggles in 2024, he remains the best kicker all-time.
Justin Tucker Vs. Adam Vinatieri
The New England Patriots released Adam Vinatieri after making 81.9% of his field goals over 10 seasons. Over this span, he went 8-for-17 from 50 yards or more. He went on to make 86.4% of his 369 field goals over the following 13 years with the Colts. They gave him 50 chances (35 made) from long range. At age 47, Vinatieri ended his career with the most field goal attempts (715) and field goals made (599) in NFL history despite fading over his final 12 games (17-for-25).
Tucker ranks 12th all-time in made field goals (417) and 22nd in attempts (468). He has a lot of leg left in his game, but an off-the-field issue creates cloudiness about his future in the NFL.

With 20+ years of experience in the high-stakes fantasy market, I aim to research and compete at the highest level in baseball and football each season. I've contributed as a writer/analyst for Sports Draft Daily, ScoutPro, Scout Fantasy, Fulltime Fantasy, FFToolbox, and Sports Illustrated Fantasy. I'm honored to be in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship Hall of Fame. My drafting philosophy is risk-averse yet open to betting on potential game-changers. I approach player selection with a neutral perspective, acknowledging that fantasy sports are inherently unpredictable due to injuries, performance dips, and managerial decisions. My work focuses on these main areas: - Season-long fantasy baseball and football - BestBall Baseball and Football Events - Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS): DraftKings, FanDuel, and Underdog - Long Shot Player Prop Parlays for NFL I participate in various leagues and contests, including NFBC, NFFC, RTSports, FFPC, DraftKings, Underdog Fantasy, FanDuel, and FFWC, with the goal of leveraging my extensive experience and research for success in each game format. A fantasy follower can expect in-depth profiles of NFL and MLB players, along with season-long and weekly projections for each fantasy football season. In addition, I have many strategy articles to help develop fantasy players' learning curves.
